This documentation supports an article on our blog introducing how to include basic accordions on your website that reference various post types, and include excerpts of post content. This is an abbreviated version of the plugin clients enjoy, which is used mainly to support the inclusion of FAQs into their website. The plugin is limited in its functionality but still includes a large number of features.
The accordions are introduced on our blog in an article titled "Simple Accordion FAQ and Links in WordPress".
Dependencies
The plugin requires BeliefMedia Core. The Core plugin enables updates, but will also register you with an API Key. If you do not wish basic registration details sent to us upon registration then please do not download the plugin. You should also ideally download and install BeliefMedia Simple Cache to take advantage of the caching feature.
The Result
The most common use of the shortcode is to return a number of posts associated with a particular category. For example, [bm_accordion term="finance"] returns the following:
The level of statistical integration availed to those that use Yabber (and our broker website) was always industry leading. However, with over 100 modules that feed statistical data into our conditional engine, the system started to become fragmented, and with a massive focus on 'behavioural analytics', we determined an update was necessary. System growth led… [ Learn More ]
The Athena and associated RSS module dates back to 2007. Previously a Platinum module, we've recently migrated most of the functionality into Yabber for use by clients, and a single page on your website now supports a basic news service. Athena is a news aggregation platform that indexes news via RSS feeds, sitemaps, and general… [ Learn More ]
It was back in 2018 that we made the nature of our Matrix API known to the industry, although we'd used it internally for a number of years prior. With a pending SSL requirement imposed by Google back in 2018, we ran various assessments that assigned with an SEO score, and more importantly, assessed how… [ Learn More ]
One of the more underexplored and deeply consequential aspects of financial digital mortgage marketing is the representation of credit product pricing, specifically interest rates, within organic search snippets. This area warrants close scrutiny not only because our own broker infrastructure explicitly supports the — including embedding legally compliant rates in titles and metadata, which I’ll… [ Learn More ]
As we discussed in an article titled "", aggregation and franchise groups are in a metamorphic state where they're forced to rethink their business model in order to remain relevant in a competitive and technology-driven environment. As far back as our Magnet Guide from 2010, we wrote that "... aggregation needs to broaden their technology… [ Learn More ]
We've had an increasing number of businesses come to us that require a word-for-word privacy, terms, complaints (dispute resolution), and General Disclaimer on their website, and ACL holders are sensibly requiring the sea of websites managed by their credit representatives to be kept up-to-date. Once printed, these disclaimers are usually managed via a non-controlled email… [ Learn More ]
During the Banking Royal Commission, I participated in an ANU Committee that investigated the viability and role of aggregation in the mortgage market, with findings fed to the commission in order to shape their discussions. Our recommendations weren't published, discussed, or considered. Instead, it was the focus of broker commissions, best interest duty, and the… [ Learn More ]
LoanOptions.AI are an asset finance company that leverages their technology by making it available to mortgage brokers. Asset finance filter through to LoanOptions, while home loan leads are fed back to brokers. We've had a couple of our own brokers partner with the company so we built a standalone WordPress plugin to quickly enable the… [ Learn More ]
Around March this year we had a client ask to have default page titles and formatting modified on around 70 pages. The request exposed a weakness in the architecture that prevented easy modification of page titles on a large number of pages, and with a recent update to the website framework, we've made modifications to… [ Learn More ]
We've recently updated the 'Testimonials' website and Yabber module, and the changes are significant enough that they require a reintroduction to the feature. Some like reviews. Others don't. We don't. In the broking world, however, and in the broader finance space in particular, reviews serve a valid purposes, and in a world populated with copious… [ Learn More ]
We've actually included the attributes of margin_bottom="30" hover="#B6B6B6" selected="#C9C9C9" color_selected="000000" number="10" to alter the appearance, and limit the number of results to just 10 articles.
In the next example we'll use the accordion as if it were part of a series or similar where numbering might be required. Using default styling, and limiting results to just 5 results, the shortcode of [bm_accordion cpt="post" taxonomy="category" term="api" number="5" icon="0"] (note the icon attribute of '0' - this creates numbering).

The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) publishes large amounts of data to its website as Excel Spreadsheets, but this method makes advanced queries and analytics difficult to query. For this reason, we synchronise our own systems with every available RBA data source, and we've built an API that return insightful information on current and historical… [ Learn More ]
We've had a large number of people ask us about the AI-driven Licence (and general document) upload form tool lately, so this article serves as a basic introduction. The method of integrating the functionality into general forms, and the client-side upload tools in your client dashboard, will be detailed in our FAQ module, so this… [ Learn More ]

Last week we introduced the call. We didn't expect the overwhelming response for more information, so in the absence of finalised documentation we'll publish a few articles detailing the most common requests. The request is made when a page is required to be indexed for the first time (or subsequently with the appropriate index or… [ Learn More ]
